Paris, France
The Eiffel Tower, built in 1887, is believed to be the most visited monument in the world! Originally meant to only stand for 20 years, it survived due its convenience as a radio transmitter in the early 20th Century, and subsequently became a victory state for its use during the First World War for dispatches to the Marne frontline.
